How big are the holes in the terminal and how long is the cable? I can't get a sense of scale. Possibly from the transmission tunnel to the o/s wheel arch earthing point.

I agree with the above post that dia cable is not heavy enough for anything serious wink its clearly an add on judging by those crimped ends, not got a rubber mounted alternator or anything silly like that has it?

Well the ign module switches the coil to ground so providing the engine block to chassis grounds are present and correct it wont make any difference to the starting wink
